Tube Tuners

I'm using a Fanfare FT1-A. I'm very happy with it.

I had a "gorgeous" Kenwood L-O1T tuner,awhile back,that I hesitantly sold for 500 dollars.Ever since,and even with both CD and vinyl front ends,I still miss tuning through the wide variety of stations about.ESPECIALLY late at night!
Did I go wrong,selling it?....I think I know the answer!
Best.

Using the Magnum Dynalab MD90T and find it to be excellent. A few friends who came over thought they were listening to a CD.

I've owned over 30 tuners and currently have Mac MR-71, MR-77, and MR-78.

The tubed MR-71 is unquestionably the best sounding of the three but least sensitive and selective.

Look for a used MR-77. The used price represents a great value. Its' sonics will embarrass the Magnum Dynalabs and Fanfares available today.

I have to agree with Audiofeil that a good classic tube tuner will sound better than the modern offerings. I remember calling up Magnum Dynalab years ago, when their then top of their line Etude was new, to ask them how they thought their tuners compared with a Dyna FM3. They basically intimated that there was no comparison. IME though, my tube tuners have trouble pulling in distant stations cleanly in comparison to my Magnums. Living where I do this is a significant issue in that most of the stations that I listen to are a few hours drive.
